If you purchased a copy of Class Mate version 7 prior to
Windows Vista and later installed it on a Vista machine, it is important
that you relocate the data file outside of the Program Files folder. To determine
the location of the data file, look at the title bar of the program which
shows the location of the currently open teacher file. If it says something
like "C:\Program Files\Class Mate\My Classes.tea", then the data file is
located in the Program Files folder and needs to be moved. Although it may
appear to work normally, it will cause problems later especially if you
ever need to make a copy of the data file.

1. Create a sub folder in your Documents folder named "Class
Mate Files".
2. From the program menu select "File/Teacher Files/Save as...".
3. Browse to the "My Documents\Class Mate Files" folder you created and
save the file there.
4. Verify that the location of the file has changed in the title bar. It
should now read something like "C:\Users\....\Documents\Class Mate Files\My
Classes.tea".

Do not try to move the file manually using Windows
explorer. Make sure you do this through the programs menu as described above.
Behind the scenes, Vista has actually moved this file to a
different location, and a copy made manually will not contain your data!
Hopefully
this will be fixed in later Vista upgrades.
